Ametal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. you observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and that the balance reads 4.3 n. what is the density of the block?

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

                        = 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

=

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
